-. ee a 2 FADS FASHIONS andering aimlessly around our campus after school we noticed a variety of different people. We were eager to find out the opinions of our classmates on fads and fashion. We first decided to ask a few people what their favorite music group was. “The Smiths,’’ Scott Dodds replied without hesitation. America Esparza expressed a totally different view and claimed that her fa- vorite group was Gucci Crew. Then we rushed over to get the opin- ion of “Scooter Boy,’ Greg Bruno, as he was putting on his helmet to get home. “| like U2, Buster’s Allstars, and Bad Manners.” We thought it would be important to find out where people liked to shop. We came up with several different answers. Macy’s was Daniela Micocci’s. Nick Hass‘s favorite place to shop was on Haight Street in San Francisco. Then we asked eccentric Amber De Celle where she liked to shop. “| guess at my friends’ houses, and | also make some of my clothes,”’ said De Celle. “| like to shop at some surf shop in San- ta Cruz,”” said Peter Mastora. Not only did people have different opinions on clothing and music but also on cosmetics and skin tones. We asked some students what their favorite lipstick color was and why. “Red, because it makes my face look more more pale and my teeth whiter,’ said Jeanie Mitchell. Karen Toste agreed with Mitchell. When | was a little girl | made pictures and | drew peoples’ lips red in the pic- tures,’’ she exclaimed. However, Elizabeth lsaeff had another opinion. “| like Pink because it’s not bright and it matches my face,”’ she said with a grin. When students were asked whether they prefer their face pale or tanned, we came up with two different answers. “Tanned definately, because it looks healthier,”’ said James Lee, while waiting for his turn to play tennis. On the other hand some people pre- ferred a pale face. “| think a pale face is more attractive, and when |’m thirty years old | won‘t have a raisin face,’’said Karena Acree. Finally, we asked people to define trendy. “Trendy is somethinng a lot of people wear.’ claimed Stacey Wong. “| believe that it is a person that tries to be like everyone else,’’ remarked Amie James. Our curiosity had been filled. After in- terviewing a variety of people on our campus, we found that there wasn’t just one type of fad and fashion for the whole school, but that there were differ- ent types of fads and fashion for differ- ent people. | 2 is “ “ ,, iS % fcos Pet OO REED US et: Disco dancers - Diana Johnston and Michelle Mares show off their snazzy dance clothes Black, white, and red are popu- lar colors, especially black and white horizontal stripes 22 Fads and Fashions
